Installing And Replacing Wire Liner - Kemppi Flexlite GX Series Operating Manual

3.4 Installing and replacing wire liner

New Flexlite GX MIG welding gun cable packs are delivered with the wire liner preinstalled, except the S-models
(long cable packages). Refer to this section when the wire liner needs to be replaced or when taking a Flexlite GX S-
model in use.
The wire liner is a consumable part, which needs to be changed if worn and when the filler wire material changes.
For the multi-neck wire liner replacement, refer to "Installing and replacing wire liner for multi-neck" on page 16 in
conjunction with this section.
If you change the filler wire to a different diameter or material, change also the feed rolls accordingly.
With most of the Flexlite GX welding gun models both steel spiral wire liner and DL Chili wire liner can be used.
However, note the following:
- Separate DL Chili wire liner options exist for water-cooled and gas-cooled Flexlite GX welding guns.
- Only DL Chili wire liners are available for the Flexlite GX S-models.
The filler wire must be removed before the wire liner replacement.
Tools needed:
1. Straighten the welding gun cable pack.
2. At the wire feeder end of the cable, remove the wire liner's short guide tip, sleeve and cone.
